Chapter Twenty-Four: The Old Fox and the Little Fox

Although the scope of the entire Hangzhou Collection City is not small, most of them are mainly porcelain, statues, calligraphy, paintings, and jade, and there are old woodware, but the scale is not large, compared with Zhao Nanquan's shop, both in quantity and quality, it is inferior.

Lu Yuan also went in and asked a few, but either he was directly ignored, or he directly quoted an insincere price, so that Lu Yuan was not interested in asking any more.

Back in the car, Lu Yuan lit a cigarette, and thought about it carefully, it will take a lot of time for Wushan Antique City to pass, and he has to rush back to Jidong today, so he should go to Zhao Nanquan's store to explore the bottom first, if it meets his own price, he can sell it directly, he only asks for a start-up capital, and he does not expect to sell it at a high price.

Seeing Lu Yuan come in, Zhao Nanquan was not the slightest surprised, he didn't even pick up the book, he held a teacup in his hand, blew leisurely, took a sip from time to time, and looked at the door with a smile.

"Little brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Zhao Nanquan laughed and spoke.

Lu Yuan pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and sighed: "I turned around the collection city, and sure enough, Boss Zhao's pattern is the largest, so I don't plan to go to Wushan Antique City, so I came directly to Boss Zhao!" ”

Zhao Nanquan took the purple clay pot, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said slowly: "Little brother, do you have any things you want to come up with, the wooden ware of the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, this kind of old fox really had eyes like a torch, just now he just asked casually, and he had already guessed his purpose by the other party.

But since it has been seen by the other party, Lu Yuan doesn't plan to go around anymore, anyway, he has a psychological price, and he can sell it directly after that, if it's much worse, he can change places by himself.

A hint of amazement appeared on his face at the right time.

"Boss Zhao is really amazing, I haven't said it yet, I have already seen my intention!"

Zhao Nanquan smiled: "I don't know what kind of objects the little brother has prepared, you should also see it, I specialize in Ming and Qing Dynasty woodware here, if it is really a good thing, the price will definitely not be a problem."

Lu Yuan nodded and said in a low voice: "I have already brought a Huanghuali flat-headed case of the Ming Dynasty, Boss Zhao will come with me to take a look?" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Nanquan was waiting for Lu Yuan's words, and after hearing his words, he directly agreed.

At this time, there were no other employees in the store, Zhao Nanquan directly closed the roller shutter and followed Lu Yuan towards the outside of the collectibles market.

"I don't know what the little brother's surname is, he has a lot of knowledge about antiques at a young age, and the elders in the family are quite powerful!"

Zhao Nanquan slowly followed behind Lu Yuan and said with a smile.

"Boss Zhao praised it falsely, the kid's surname is Lu, it's just a little bit dabbled, where can it be regarded as the word Tao!"

After a few casual words, he had already arrived at the place where Lu Yuan parked, Lu Yuan opened the car door, stretched out his hand and asked, "Boss Zhao can take a look at the condition." ”

Before coming, Lu Yuan simply cleaned up this flat-headed case, at least wiped off the stains and dust on it, and the family had never cleaned it in the corridor at the door in the past few years, and it was very dirty.

Zhao Nanquan walked into the van, first carefully looked at it for dozens of seconds, then nodded and said, "It is indeed Huanghuarosewood!" ”

Generally speaking, the color of yellow rosewood is golden, even if it is oxidized for a long time, it also turns purple-red, which is easy to identify, but this flat-headed case is obviously an object in the early Ming Dynasty, and it will still be popular with black lacquer, so ordinary people do not recognize it.

After Zhao Nanquan finished reading it, he began to gently stroke the thick layer of pulp on the desk, from the desktop to the legs, he did not let go.

"Is this desk an object handed down by Brother Lu's own family?"

Zhao Nanquan asked coldly.

If Lu Yuan was really still sixteen or seventeen years old, at this moment, there was a great possibility of revealing the stuffing, but at this time, before Lu Yuan came, he had already made a draft, and he had a plan for how to answer any questions.

"Yes, I didn't even pay attention to my elders before, and I kept it in the old house in my hometown, until a few days ago I was interested in the wood of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and I found it!"

Lu Yuan's voice was calm with a hint of joy, as if he was happy to find a valuable antique.

When Zhao Nanquan heard Lu Yuan's words, he was noncommittal, but said with a smile: "Indeed, this table seems to have suffered a lot of wind and rain before, and the table legs are a little damp!" ”

He believed in Lu Yuan's words a little, only he knew, but he also understood that if he wanted to slaughter the source of the object, he hoped that it would be too big, this young man had a maturity and calmness beyond his age.

He didn't wait for Lu Yuan to answer, lowered his body, took out a flashlight, and carefully checked it under the desk, including the patterns on the edge of the table legs and the desk, and the junction of the tenon, all of which were carefully touched.

Zhao Nanquan has been in the antique industry for decades, and the number of eye-piercing is not small, some people deliberately pretend to be old farmers in the countryside who don't know anything, and find out that the buyer wants to take advantage of the mind, and directly sell the fake as the real thing, Zhao Nanquan himself has encountered it.

He would never be a little negligent because of Lu Yuan's age.

"I don't know what price Brother Lu wants to sell?"

Zhao Nanquan checked for a long time before putting down the things in his hand, turning around, and looking at Lu Yuan with a smile.

According to the rules in the antique industry, it is impossible for a buyer to make a bid first, and only when the seller says the price can he bargain, even if the seller asks for a price, he can also repay the money on the spot.

Lu Yuan laughed, didn't say the price directly, and said: "Boss Zhao, let me take the liberty of asking, which is better, my thing, or the Huanghuali official hat chair in your store?" ”

Generally speaking, when selling antiques, after the seller makes a bid, the buyer will basically bargain on the grounds of quality, but Lu Yuan deliberately asked the price of the Huanghuali official hat chair at the beginning, if Zhao Nanquan's price is too low, wouldn't he be admitting that he is a profiteer, and the water was too much when he quoted before.

When Zhao Nanquan heard this, he also admired Lu Yuan's thoughtfulness in his heart, he nodded, and said softly: "Although the quality of this flat-headed case is not too good, it is not bad among the things I have seen over the years." ”

"Brother Lu, don't worry, I won't bargain with the quality, it's still the same sentence, as long as the price is right, I will accept it directly!"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said directly: "Five hundred thousand!" ”
